Blackpool claim a point as Wigan score two own goals, with the visitors taking the lead through Rankine's assured finish. Blackpool began to feel they were getting back in the game, but Wigan thought they would go into the break two goals up. However, Evans made amends for his earlier error as his cross was deflected home by Wigan defender Kerr. Olakigbe should have made it 3-1 early in the second half, but his close-range effort was saved by O'Donnell's legs. Blackpool brought on experienced striker Jordan Rhodes, who came close to levelling five minutes from the end. The hosts continued to pile on the pressure, with Taylor and Rhodes again going close before Aimson's own goal. Blackpool felt they could have won it after appealing for a penalty, but play was allowed to go on. The draw was a welcome result for Blackpool after their 5-1 loss at Peterborough. Wigan's Michael Olakigbe had a 15th-minute shot saved, before Rankine gave the visitors the lead. The Latics could have been 2-0 up soon after, but Smith's effort was straight at O'Donnell. Blackpool's Elliot Embleton had a swerving long-range strike whistle over the bar, before Sam Tickle denied Kyle Joseph. Blackpool's fightback was led by Jordan Rhodes, who was brought on as part of a host of attacking changes. The former Scotland player's diving header was deflected wide, but he continued to cause problems for the Wigan defence. The point was a hard-earned one for Blackpool, who will look to build on this result in their next match.
